10102 for chains from 0.75 to 1.25 pitch

For joining any chain up to 2.5 pitch, a drift punch will be

Driver and driven shafts should be checked to ensure they

Use a spirit level and adjustable comparator bar or

of the drive. Correct any parallelism errors and mark a

Place sprockets or respective shafts in approximate
alignment and fit the keys in accordance with correct
engineering practice. Do not secure keys at this stage.

Carry out the above checks.
Check for wear on sideplates.
Check for chain elongation.

A new Renold Chain should always be stored in its box
and/or bag until installation. Renold Chain is lubricated at
the factory, but this lubrication will not stand up to outdoor
conditions, particularly in a saltwater atmosphere.

Development of Early Roller Chain
As the industrial revolution gained pace, the need for higher
performance chain ensured that the product did not stand
still. A quick look at the 1880 patent would give the impression
that there is no difference between it and modern chain.
In concept, this is true. However, early chain performance
was very much constrained by design knowledge, material
sophistication, and production processes. For example,
in order to achieve a close tolerance on round parts, Hans
Renold also pioneered centerless grinding and, at one
time, had a whole section devoted to grinding cold drawn

The shortcomings of available technology meant that,

Lifting Applications
This section covers applications such as lifting and moving,
where the loads involved are generally static. Obviously, Applications
dynamic loads are also involved in most applications and
the designer needs to take due consideration of these. The
machinery designer should also refer to DTI Publication
INDY J1898 40M, which summarizes legislation in place
from January 1, 1993 and January 1, 1995 regarding
machinery product standards.
Chain for lifting applications falls into two main categories:
Leaf Chain
Bush/Roller Chain
1. Machine Tools - Planers, 2. Fork Lift Trucks, Lifts,
Drills, Milling Heads, Hoists.
Leaf Chain Machine Centers.
Leaf chain is generally used for load-balancing lifting
applications as illustrated below. They must be anchored
at either end since there is no means of geared
engagement in the chain itself.

Safety Factors
A safety factor of 7:1 is normal for steady-duty reciprocating
motion, i.e., fork lift trucks. For medium shock loads, the
ratio is 9:1 and for heavy shock loads, 11:1.

Operating Speed 3. Counterweight Balances -


Applications should not exceed a maximum chain speed of Jacks, Doors, Gates, etc.

Top line is 18-tooth JS-7055.
Intermediate lines are approximate midpoints for
sprocket-tooth range shown.
If the HP-RPM intersection takes place near a line, both
chains should be considered.

Engineering Formulas 29

Technical Information
Horsepower Centrifugal Pull or Tension
Horsepower equals 33,000 foot-pounds per minute or 550 Centrifugal pull or tension caused by the weight and
foot-pounds per second. In terms of chain load and speed velocity of the chain may be calculated from the following:
use the following:
Centrifugal Pull = [Wt. Per Foot of Chain x (FPM)2] / 115,900
HP = (Working Load x Ft/min) / 33,000
or
HP = Working Load x T x P x RPM / 396,000
Total Chain Tension
Where:
T = Number of sprocket teeth Total Chain Tension = Working Load + Centrifugal Pull
P = Chain pitches (in.)

Chain Bearing Pressure


Ratio
Chain Bearing Pressure = (Working Load) / (L x D)
Ratio = N/n or R/r
Where:
Where: L = Bushing length
N = Number of teeth in large sprocket D = Pin diameter
n = Number of teeth in small sprocket
R = RPM of large sprocket
r = RPM of small sprocket
Torque and Horsepower (HP)
HP = [Torque (inch-pounds) x RPM] / 63,000
or
Feet Per Minute (FPM)
HP = [Torque (foot-pounds) x RPM] / 5,250
FPM = (n x P x r) / 12
Where:
n = Number of teeth in small sprocket
Kilowatts to Horsepower
P = Pitch
r = RPM of small sprocket 1 KW = 1.333 HP (approx.)
or
HP = KW / [.746 x Efficiency]
Where:
Chain Working Load
Efficiency = .90 for generators
When the input horsepower is known and the chain working = .87 for motors
load is desired, this can be calculated as follows:

Working Load = (HP x 33,000) / FPM


or
Working Load = (HP x 396,000) / (T x P x R)

Factor of Safety (FS)


Factor of safety is determined from the following:
FS = Chain ATS / Chain WL
Where:
ATS = Average tensile strength
WL = Working load
